You should talk to Norm Vine, cc'd, about this. I think he has been
working on VMap0 / PostGIS already. There is a geodata.telascience.org
host set up by John Graham, nothing on it yet. I'm really interested
in the idea of making a plone UI for metadata management using seang's
ZCO, "cartographic objects for zope".

http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Infrastructure_Working_Group
might have some useful reference points. If you have a setup plan, it
would be great if you could jot it down or link to it on this page...

thanks,
